Yes, it's a common source of confusion. Besides those who mix up Office XP
and Windows XP, other people who know the difference between them assume
that, because Windows XP is the later version of Windows, Office XP is also
the latest version of Microsoft Office (it's not--Office 2003 is), Still
others assume that the only version of Office that can run on Windows XP is
Office XP.

In reality, of course, the "XP" part of either name is there just for
marketing purposes, and has no real meaning. All versions of Microsoft
Office, at least as far back as Office 95, will run under Windows XP.
